Hi tumblr pals,

Excited to share with all of you that independent publishing house Paper Farms just released a full-color booklet featuring two of my previous comic zine titles “Intergalactic Telepathic Pen Pal” and “A Special Message For You Hand-Delivered To You From the Universe” in a single volume that also includes a process essay by yours truly. Since me = cheap with my printing costs, I’m tickled pink to finally have a properly bound book to share with all of you that isn’t completely monochromatic.

*** ORDER ORDER ORDER HERE :)

P.S. Paper Farms previously released a booklet featuring the screenprint comics / artwork of my artist pal Jen Tong, which you should also eye-drool at and order for yourself.

Hi tumblr friends,

I’ll be tabling with the one and only Sam Alden at table 241. COME SAY HI DONT BE A STRANGER

In addition to older zine titles (including ‘I Think I Am in Friend-Love With You’ which is currently only available for sale through cons), I’ll be debuting a newly formatted version of my online Rumpus comic ‘Moon Between the Mountains’ in zine form.

Announcing BROOKLYN BRAIN FRAME

BRAIN FRAME, the performative comix reading series (and Chicago’s most valuable export) is coming to New York. Watch six artists from around the country mount the pulpit to interpret their comics and zines with maximum force. Musical histories, landscape gifs, a UFO puppet, photos of forgotten females, horror crystals, and a vajazzling cat are just are few of the many splendors on imminent display. Laugh, cry, sit back, and relax // expanded comix // expanded minds.

Featuring:
Ben Bertin
Tom Blunt
Matt Carman
Ayun Halliday
Lyra Hill
Andy Gabrysiak
Caroline Paquita
and a joint reading from Yumi Sakugawa and Kelsey Short

With live synthesizer soundscapes by Tyson Torstenson

At Public Assembly, 70 North 6th St, Brooklyn. Doors at 7:00, 21+, FREE.

Brooklyn Brain Frame is organized in association with the 2nd annual Brooklyn Zine Fest. Come by between 11am and 6pm to browse wares and meet the night’s performers, then come back at 7 to watch the fireworks.

Poster by Yumi Sakugawa.

Hey, I’m in Brooklyn this month for Brooklyn Zine Fest on Sunday 4/21 and doing a comic reading afterwards. Do this.
